Hairong Kuang commented on HDFS-1070:
-------------------------------------
The failed tests seem not be caused by this patch. This patch does not have any unit tests
because existing tests already cover it. If nobody is against it, I will commit the patch
later this evening.
> Speedup NameNode image loading and saving by storing local file names

> Currently each inode stores its full path in the fsimage. I'd propose to store the local
name instead. In order for each inode to identify its parent, all inodes in a directory tree
are stored in the image in in-order. This proposal also requires each directory stores the
number of its children in image.
> This proposal would bring a few benefits as pointed below and therefore speedup the image
loading and saving.
> # Remove the overhead of converting java-UTF8 encoded local name to string-represented
full path then to UTF8 encoded full path when saving to an image and vice versa when loading
the image.
> # Remove the overhead of traversing the full path when inserting the inode to its parent
inode.
> # Reduce the number of temporary java objects during the process of image loading or
saving and therefore reduce the GC overhead.
> # Reduce the size of an image.
